Hi Folks,
I'm planning on building a PC in the near future and will be using a SATA hard drive as the primary drive. My current PC uses a PATA drive and I was wondering if it is possible to install the PATA drive into the new kit as a slave? I'll be using an AMD motherboard and a 939 processor.
It would be useful to have the PATA drive for backup purposes, plus it would be a quick way to get my data onto the new kit. I'm not sure though about mixing PATA and SATA.
Anyone know if there are any issues with this or is it possible?
Thanks
Myles
